MyCoast is customizable and unique to each user. Factors that make MyCoast unique to you are which schools in the Coast Community College District (CCCD) you engage with as well as your role at each campus.
For instance, a student who attends courses just at Coastline will not see any information pertaining to faculty, staff, or the other campuses in the district, but will be able to access his/her/their Coastline information, including grades, financial aid, etc. However, a faculty member who teaches both at Coastline and GWC will be able to view his/her/their faculty resources for both campuses.
You can log into MyCoast from any computer with internet connection and a web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari). MyCoast works on PC and Mac computers.

- What is my username and password?
- Your MyCoast username will be sent to the email address you provided for Admissions and Records at the time of registration.
- Why do I see the Coast district logo when I log on to MyCoast?
- The Coast Community College District (CCCD) is comprised of Orange Coast College, Golden West College, and Coastline College. If you are a student of multiple campuses in the CCCD, you may see the Coast district logo along with logos for each campus when you login to MyCoast. If you are - and were - affiliated with Coastline only, you would have just the Coastline logo. Students, faculty, and staff that work or attend multiple CCCD campuses (or have in the past) will see the Coast district logo when logging in to MyCoast.
- What is MyCCC?
- MyCoast was formerly called MyCCC. If you see MyCCC connected to Coastline or the Coast district, it is the same as MyCoast.
